Chapter 774

"Right . . . "

Sugou put on his goody two shoes façade once more . He looked at Shouzou .

"About your wife . . . "

Unlike Shouzou who completely trusted Sugou, Asuna's Mum, Yuuki Kyouko had qualms about Sugou .

Shouzou is too busy managing his own businesses to care about his own family . He saw only Sugou's entrepreneurial skills, management ability, and ambition . He overlooked the part about assessing someone's personality .

Like Shouzou, Kyouko also couldn't see past Sugou's façade . However, her intuition told her to stay on her guard around Sugou, despite his stellar performance .

If Kyouko found out, she would probably drag this matter out, something very unfavorable for Sugou who wants to get this done while Asuna's still imprisoned inside his virtual world .

Shouzou frowned when he thought about his wife . He felt helpless because he's sure his wife would delay the matter, at least, she won't agree as easily as him .

Shouzou didn't go back on his words . He gave Sugou a verbal promise .

"Worry not, I will convince her . . . "

Shouzou patted Sugou on his shoulder .

"Your accomplishments and talents are obvious to anyone who can see and hear . Kyouko is a tough nut to crack, I am sure if you keep buttering her up, she will agree one day . . . "

"I see . . . "

Sugou smiled .

"As long as I can get the consent of you all . . . "

A lazy voice rang in the room while the two businessmen talked .

"Nope . Uh-uh, I object . . . "

Shouzou and Sugou gasped because they completely missed the man in casual black clothes . They looked at the source of the sound and they saw Wu Yan who acted like a knight serving his princess, the red-eyed youth with black hair caressed Asuna's cheek with a caring and warm look .

Shouzou and Sugou backed away at the same time .

They stood at the entrance, if anyone came in, they would have noticed . The only other entrance would be the window . The door is shut tight, by logical deduction, this meant the guy creeped in through the window .

Anyone climbing in through the window is definitely suspicious, right?

"Who are you?"

Shouzou sternly asked the young man . Sugou recovered too, but, he's seeing red because Wu Yan is currently touching Asuna's cheek .

The youth stopped when he heard Shouzou, unwillingly, he distanced his hand from the sleeping beauty's cheek . His red eyes shifted towards Shouzou .

"You can call me Wu Yan . . . "

"Wu Yan . . . "

They tried to cross-reference his name to anyone notable . Almost immediately, they identified this man .

While SAO imprisoned the players, experts tried to see if they can free the players from the outside .

Kayaba is very thorough, the Nervegear's capability is through the roof, there is almost no loophole in the hardware . As for the software, the Cardinal system, it's so robust that nobody could crack the game . While trying to free the players with preservation of lives as the main priority, all the experts in the world tried and failed to hack into the game . They couldn't even forcefully pry into the game to understand the general situation inside the game . In the end, the players freed themselves .

The world had countless geniuses, some of them tried to use the indirect method to sketch a picture of the status inside the game . They parsed the data released from the game and they analyzed the information within to gather intel on the events inside SAO . For instance, they could see the players' power and attributes .

Anyone with the appropriate clearance knew about the strongest player in SAO, Wu Yan .

Shouzou and Sugou were powerful individuals, they managed to gain this intel through their industrious means and relationships .

"You're that Wu Yan? . . . "

Shouzou raised his guard against Wu Yan . This guy appeared like a phantom, even his identity is relatively unknown .

When the authorities found the player data known as Wu Yan, they started their own investigations .

All of which led to a dead end .

Wu Yan is completely off-the-grid . With no bank account, identity, or official papers, this guy was like a boogeyman in terms of his existence .

When the boogeyman comes, why wouldn't Shouzou be vigilant?

"Should I treat you as a trespassing hooligan?"

Shouzou thought about calling the cops .

Wu Yan chortled . He looked at Sugou and then he looked at Shouzou .

"Well, you're free to do whatever you want . However, your action will be troubling . . . "

Wu Yan scratched his head . He pulled Asuna's hand up .

"Yuuki-san, we can talk about this incident later . For now, let me rescue Asuna first yeah? . . . "

"Wh-what are you talking about? . . . "

Shouzou and Sugou had shocked looks . Shouzou yelped first .

"You said you have a way to save Asuna? . . . "

Wu Yan glanced at them . He returned his attention to Asuna . His heart started aching when he saw her weak appearance . Her eyebrows were furrowed like she's having a nightmare . Waves of killing intention rose up within his eyes . He directed his killing intent towards Sugou .

With prior knowledge, Wu Yan knew Sugou is the criminal who locked Asuna up . In the original work, this guy stopped short of violating Asuna's innocence . His crime is enough for Wu Yan to put this guy on his to-kill list .

Most importantly, he had to save Asuna first . Sugou can be deep-fried another time . . .

"Yuuki-san . . . "

Wu Yan looked at Shouzou .

"Please exit the room . . . "

Shouzou struggled with his thoughts . He balanced the pros and cons of leaving her beloved daughter in the hands of a man from an unknown origin .

Wu Yan's words were too tempting . . .

What should I do? . . .
